## Resource

A major farm bill just passed the House, injecting nearly a billion dollars into specialty crops like apples, cherries, and hops — vital to Washington’s agriculture — with funding for research, marketing, and automation to combat labor shortages. But it’s a polarizing win: Democrats fiercely oppose cuts to SNAP, calling them too harsh for struggling families. Now the bill heads to the Senate, where bipartisan compromise is essential — and the clock is ticking on outdated policies. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
